Product Description
by W. Loyd Allen (Author)
The Old and New Testaments are rife with language of journeys, of walking with God. We admire the Biblical heroes who did so-Adam and Eve before the fall, the Emmaus road disciples, Enoch, Peter. But things fall apart. Roads diverge. Authentic Christian life presents spiritual crises and we struggle to find a hero walking with God at a crossroads. With wisdom and sincerity, W. Loyd Allen presents Jesus as our example and these crises as stages in the journey of growth we each take toward maturity in Christ. Let Crossroads in Christian Growth serve as your guidebook for the spiritual struggle ahead or the crisis you stand in the midst of today.
